This kind of stuff actually seems like a breath of fresh air after all those "facial" guitarists. Even though it's like 70 years old or something - and it enabled the facials, of course.

You know, I started watching that video, then went to the next, then the next, and I ended up watching the Motorhead documentary.

Rock and roll is all related, man.

Lonnie.... Love it. That's some good work.

However, taste is a bitch. Stay away from that.

Lonnie Johnson showed a lot of people the road forward! He was really a class act! It's sad we have so little of his music left.
Hope everybody noticed Willie Dixon was backing him up on the bass.

Here is another; check out Sister Rosetta Tharpe's solo around 1:25.
